Well, sorry to disappoint you and any other Origin fans, but, although it gave
them their birth, Origin has gone the way of so many other software companies
and dumped the Apple II line we all love so much.  Living here in Origin Land 
(Austin Texas) I have met quite a few people who work there.  (Some even 
suggested I apply for a job there, but....)  In fact, the guy I bought most of
my GS stuff from was the last person to put a significant effort towards 
writing the GS version of Ultima VI!  I have a number of disks (unfortunately
erased) that have hand scrawled labels like "Ultima VI Source disk 1" and
"Ultima VI World Disk", etc.  Bummer!

                    Too bad the developers don't believe it!
